HÀn jÀi kaikkialla. Luulen, ettÀ hÀn meni New Yorkiin muutaman pÀivÀn. Ja sitten, kuka tietÀÀ. Oli aika hyvÀ. HÀn sanoi, ettÀ mennÀÀn ulos uudestaan ja antaa minulle puheenvuoron. Ja sitten puhuin hÀnelle ja hÀn kertoi minulle. HÀn sanoi, ettÀ annan sinulle puheenvuoron, kun olen taivaalla. Olen ollut hyvin tyhjÀssÀ.
Okay, but here's what pisses me off. Go, buddy. You look at that front end of that car. It is sweet, okay? So now you think I'm going to put the license plate on the front of that car. And so how long did it take, Adam, for me to get that fucking fix-it ticket? You go. I can help you with this. I look at him. I look at the officer and I go, come on.
We are looking at the front of this car. Stare at it. Do you really want me to put a plate in the middle of that nose? And he goes, oh man, I agree with you. This is beautiful. And I go, and yet, you're going to make me write this up.
They'll just take sheet metal screws and go right into the plastic of the front of your car. I beat their ass, though. Good, let's hear it. I went to my dealer, and I said, we're going to beat this, right? And he said, well, let me tell you what we do with the car shows. We use this two-sided tape, right? And we stuck it on with two-sided tape. We put the little frame on and everything, so no drilling at them, all right? And so they said...
Go right over to the police precinct over here in Pasadena, right? I said, yeah, great. Get it signed off. Big, big guy comes up to the counter and says, can I help you? And I said, yeah, I just want you to check off my fix-it ticket. And he hands it to the little guy. The skinny little wimpy guy comes out and he goes, you put this on with tape. He totally busted my ass. I was like, I'm going to Burbank.
MinÀ menin Burbankiin. He olivat oikeudellisia. He jÀtti minut loppumaan. Se oli se. Pohjaa se. Pohjaa se. 20 dollaria. Ja kun jÀin tuohon paikkoon, se tappoi.
No, kun minÀ tuli ns. ns. ns. ns. ns. ns. ns. ns. ns. ns. ns.
Se sattui siellÀ 10 vuotta. Joka kuukauden lupasin tietokoneen. ViimeisenÀ viikonloppuna, kuukauden myöhemmin, menin tuohon tietokoneeseen. Mennin tuohon ja aloin ottaa muutamia kotia. Sanoin, ettÀ me olimme melko hyviÀ. MeillÀ oli hieno menetelmÀ. Yksi netto, yksi ilta, yksi kuukauden. PÀivÀluokat NBCissÀ.
At the height of must-see TV on Thursday night in the 90s, 75 million Americans watched some of Thursday night, at least one show. That was a third of the country. So they were afraid to go to work the next day and be left out of the conversation if they hadn't watched Friends, Seinfeld, VR.
Nothing lasts forever, right? Sure. Peyton Manning reminded us that when he took a bow and said goodbye in Indianapolis.
So could it have ever lasted? No. It was always going to change. But it has been a rather dramatic fall off. The world's changed, right? More competition than ever before. Television, what you want, when you want it, how you want it, where you want it. What do the networks â and I'm going to say networks, I'm just talking about the big four â
MitÀ heidÀn tÀytyy tehdÀ, jotta he voivat kokeilla, ainakin kreatiivisesti? Se on se vision asia, eikö? Sinun tÀytyy löytÀÀ ÀÀntÀ, jota uskot, ja jota odotat rakkauden elÀmÀstÀsi. MeidÀn suurimmat onnistumme...
Patience was rewarded. Right. Do you think there'd be patience for Seinfeld now? It's against all odds. It's really tough, but our biggest rewards came that way. Cheers goes on to Thursday night. Now, why would anyone watch Cheers on NBC? Because no one would ever come to NBC for a sophisticated adult comedy. We didn't have them, right? Right.
Wow.
So Grant Tinker says, do you have anything better? Right. And our answer is no. Right. And he goes, well, I think you just decided what you're going to do with the show. So we hang in with cheers. Then a guy named Bill Cosby comes on, explodes on Thursday night. All of a sudden we've got circulation. And we get to say to people, 35 million Americans, tune in for the first episode of Bill Cosby. And we get to say, hey, stick around.
MeillÀ on myös tÀmÀ asia nimeltÀ Cheers. Seuraavan 10 vuoden jÀlkeen on Tentpolli viikonloppuna. Seinfeldin pahimmat tutkimukset, varmasti televisiohistorian kautta. Yksityiskohtaisuus on vahva. He tiesivÀt, kuka Jerry oli, vaan he eivÀt tykkÀytynyt. He ajattelivat, ettÀ hÀnen yksityiskohtaisuudessaan oli pahaa. Vaini, viipi, viipi, pahaa.
It's a family comedy. It was a brilliant family comedy. Hold on, Brian's only 30. He was like the Madea before Tyler Perry. Okay. Look at you. I'm with you now. You with me? Sorry. Go ahead. And Golden Girls test through the roof, right? They're like Madea too?
HÀn on tekemÀssÀ passwordia tai jotain muuta, ja hÀn on heittÀmÀttÀ. Minusta tÀmÀ on niin huomioitavaa. HÀn on mahtava. Jos haluat olevasta ja innovatiivista, tutkimus ei saa sinulle sitÀ. Sinun tÀytyy todella mennÀ siihen, mitÀ uskot. Se on Seinfeld.
I ordered four episodes of Seinfeld. How did I do it? I stole from a two-hour Bob Hope special that we chose not to make that year. I called up Jerry and I said I've got great news. Four episodes. Dead silence.
Back then people would pick up 12, 16, 22 or something. They'd order big chunks back there. You're absolutely right. It didn't sound like anything back then. So Jerry had one question. In the history of television, has anyone ever succeeded with a four-episode order? I just said, I don't know. I don't know. He said, okay, we'll do them. And Jerry and Larry, I'm convinced, they, Larry told the story later on,
